Business InformationHistory/background
MY PARENTS WERE ANTIQUE DEALERS, MY GRANDFATHER WOULD BUY JEWELLERY IN LEU OF BAR BILLS.
I JOINED THE FAMILY FIRM WHEN I WAS 20, THOUGH AS MY PARENTS SHOP WAS NEXT DOOR TO THE FAMILY HOME - I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN THE BUSINESS FROM BIRTH (OR SO IT SEEMS).
I OPENED TWO AUCTION ROOMS AND RUN THE FAMILY ANTIQUES BUSINESS, WHEN DISASTER STRUCK AND MY OLDER SISTER, WHO ALSO WAS IN THE BUSINESS DIED, LEAVING ME WITH HER TWO LOVELY CHILDREN, I ALREADY HAD FOUR. SO I CLOSED THE SALE ROOMS AND FOCUSSED ON THE CHILDREN AND THE SHOP.
I HAD SUCH FUN RAISING MY LARGE FAMILY.
THEY ARE ALL ADULTS NOW.
DURING THIS TIME I INCREASINGLY DEVELOPED THE ANTIQUE JEWELLERY SIDE OF THE BUSINESS AND THIS IS THE MAIN PART OF MY STOCK.
